Broadcast

[Kneeling on a cushion in the recreation area with the garden bed as his back drop, is the resident sword. He smiles pleasantly at the camera and one can hear pleasant sounding music in the back ground before his new pet lands on his shoulder. His long nails gently scratch the bird's head as he keeps his focus on what he's doing.]

A good day to all of you. I wish to present an inquiry as it were.

[Pausing, he lifts a cup to his lips and has a sip of tea before continuing.]

I had wondered if perhaps there are those who offer lessons in swordsmanship in this fleet. If there are not then I wondered if there are those that would wish to take lessons. This is a skill I am quite versed in and having the knowledge of a blade could be useful to have.

[He bows his head politely.]

Please let me know if there is interest. Though I suppose interest in sparring would be welcome as well. A father must keep himself well exercised to keep up with his children.

[Please don't mind the fact that there is absolutely no way he looks old enough to have any children at all.]

SS Caprine

[For those aboard his ship, they'll find that he appears to have obtained a bird during that pet drive. A very lovely bird that usually lives nearby him or on his shoulder. And those colors sure to match his attire perfectly.

Most often he can be found relaxing with some tea. Despite how small he is, he really isn't that hard to come across if one happens to want to talk to him.]

Would you mind if I asked if you had these blades here? I will not ask to use them with others but we could use them for your own lessons.

Oh, yes, they're here. I inherited them from someone in the Fleet I was close to when they left. I can bring the ones I think would be useful... Or perhaps I should bring them all and let you decide. You're the expert, after all.

All would be welcome. It will be easier for me to know them should I see them all.

Right, I'll do that then.

_{[ He only had about three - Fenris had an extensive collection and
others had wanted mementos. As much as wanted some pieces of Fenris, he
didn't need quite that many sharp ones. ]}

They're all a bit short on me, honestly. Fenris was quite a bit smaller than I am.

One can still wield a smaller blade. Just as one can potentially wield a much larger one.

Of course, I just figured that was important since it would affect how I might learn to use them. I have a few daggers from him too.

I am a very small sword. I can teach to use larger blades but I will always be best with the lighter ones. So we simply have to find a blade that suits you.

I don't think I would want to use a larger one anyways. Prefer light, easier to carry, easier to move with.

We will soon discover that together, hm?

[He smiles at him warmly.]

I look forward to meeting the blades you bring.

I'm sure they look forward to it too.

When would you like me to meet you?

I wish to find a location to do this and gather some more supplies. I will contact you in a few days and we can begin.

I look forward to it. If I might suggest the Iskaulit? There's quite a few open spaces there, and one might work for you.

A wise suggestion. One could create a dojo with one of those places.

Since there's a dance studio, a dojo shouldn't be much of a problem. If you need help, I'll lend you a hand. Not that I've ever helped but a dojo together before, but I can follow instructions.

_{[ Mostly. ]}

I should be able to manage but I thank you. Though, we will find out if you can follow instructions when your lessons begin.

Hopefully I can buck my track record.

_{[ He can actually follow instructions and learn - when he's interested
in the subject, and he was interested in this, so it shouldn't be a
problem. ]}

[He laughs lightly.]

I will contact when I have my space. Thank you again.
